OS X: Your local network has a variety of computers and devices connected to it, offering up file and screen sharing services (among others) that take a bit of navigation to access. Coucou solves that problem by sticking them all in your menubar for quick and easy access.

Like previously mentioned ScreenSharingMenulet on steroids, coucou adds a simple little menu that allows you to quickly connect with remote computers. Whether you need to share a screen, access the computer's web site, share a file, connect via SSH, or anything else the machine broadcasts, you can with just a click. By default, coucou only shows computers and printers but you can also add phones, tablets, NAS devices, and media centers via the preferences. If you want a quick way to navigate your network from your Mac, coucou gives it to you for $1.

Update: Strangely, coucou is no longer available in the App Store. The developer's page has a "Coming Soon" banner over coucou, so hopefully we'll see it pop back in there soon. Thanks to everyone who pointed this out.
